Intro

[Verse 1]
D#m F#
So, if you don't believe that man was made from mud
D#m F#
I'm inclined to lean that way as well
D#m F#
And if you think that we should drink each other's blood
D#m F#
Slice me open, what the hell
[Verse 2]
D#m F#
I get the goosebumps just remembering your name
D#m F#
The shameless hope behind your eyes
D#m F#
Insisting sincerely that the snow begets the spring
D#m F#
Who needs wit when you are wise
[Chorus 1]
Cb A#m C#
You can sleep in any bed you think is soft
Cb A#m C#
I will save a place for you here at the trough
Cb A#m C#
But if instead, you resolve to hook the hose to the exhaust
C#
Admit you're beat... I will not think you weak
[Verse 3]
D#m F#
Our car was buried in the last dug ditch
D#m F#
Our broken family stood it's ground
D#m F#
We poured down kisses on his pale blue lips
D#m F#
Oaths were made and vengeance vowed
[Verse 4]
D#m F#
I try to think of it as often as i should
D#m F#
My hat in hand and furrowed brow
D#m F#
But once you realize that you'll never save the world
D#m F#
The next best bet is burn it down
[Chorus 2]
Cb A#m C#
Stay away from whisky love, and stay away from men
Cb A#m C#
You do those things and you may never get the chance
Cb A#m C#
To drink pollution and to sit here on your hands
C#
It ain't so bad, if you get happy when your sad
[Chorus 3]
Cb A#m C#
Stay away from whisky and you stay away from mine
Cb A#m C#
We're writing footnotes for a culture in decline
Cb
And I don't know, if that don't, then
A#m C# C#
Just what will change your mind and break that spell
N.C.
And we'll quietly rebel
N.C.
Come here, we'll quietly rebel
[Outro]
